Perfect for fans of Wicked and anyone who has ever dared to dream big, The Chance to Fly by Tony Award-winning actress Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz is an inspiring middle grade novel about Nat Beacon, a theater-loving girl who uses a wheelchair.
"Every theater kid in the world will instantly fall in love with Nat Beacon and relate to her story of perseverance. The Chance To Fly is as unique, inspirational, and full of heart as Ali Stroker is herself. She and Stacy Davidowitz will make readers laugh, cry, and teach them the true meaning of defying gravity." -Chris Colfer, New York Times bestselling author and Golden Globe winning actor
"The perfect read for any dream chaser . . . You'll realize how unlimited your possibilities are." -Kristin Chenoweth, Tony and Emmy Award winning actress and singer
"I only wish that The Chance to Fly was written when I was a teenager. Ali Stroker is a powerful role model for all youth and adults alike . . . We are living in changing times where audiences are clamoring for greater diversity. A Tony Award winner whose voice soars, whose energy brings us all to cheer is an example of what is possible." -Judith Heumann, International Disability Rights Activist, author of Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Me
"A story both fine and also uplifting-in both senses of the word, moral and physical!" -Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked
**STARRED REVIEW**
"Bolstered by realistic dialogue and Nat's engaging internal narrative, this endearing novel will entrance a new generation of theater lovers and charm older ones with its allusions to beloved shows." -Publishers Weekly
Nat's passion for musicals knows no bounds, and she dreams of performing on stage despite never having seen an actor with a disability in a leading role.
When Nat's family moves from California to New Jersey, she discovers auditions for a kids' production of her all-time favorite musical, Wicked.
Thrilled by the opportunity, Nat lands a spot in the ensemble. As she navigates new friendships and the challenges of rehearsals, Nat draws strength from the empowering themes of Wicked, particularly the song "Defying Gravity."
But as opening night approaches, unexpected obstacles arise. Nat must confront her fears and insecurities, channeling the spirit of Elphaba to truly "defy gravity" both on and off the stage.
This heartfelt story celebrates resilience, inclusion, and the transformative power of theater.
